Get into the bus, shouted Mrs Catherine.
It was the first time that we will be going on an excortion as a team.
The Basketball team of my school, headed by our sports mistress, Mrs Catherine, will be going on an excortion to the Nation of Olympus. Olympus, according to our history teacher, was formerly called the United States of America, It's the world free zone for both trybots and humans, in this place trybots and humans live together, intermarry, work together, and eat together, nobody places demercations in this place.
We passed through the wastelands into the forest area.
The Journey was smooth, but we had so many stops and checkpoints to pass through. Finally we reached the nation of Olympus, they was this great Digital Sign Post with the inscription "YOU ARE WELCOME TO OLYMPUS". Throughout the journey, I had been trying to imagine a person traveling through those wastelands and forest without an Automoto or Autocycle. The Automotos and Autocycles, are Transportational vehicles that convey people, from place to place. But are only affordable to the rich and elite in the trybots in the great city. It is forbidden for a commoner to own one of this, as it is regarded a great offence, the only exception are for commoner schools like ours, who are given one in case of any excortion.
Some persons in search of greener pastures have tried to travel through the wastelands on foot, some had been killed by wild animals, some had died out of hunger and thirst. It was an Impossible journey to embark on, and I wondered why anyone try to make it. I was about to get my answer, the Olympus Nation is all I have heard about, and even more, trybots and humans living together, raising offsprings together, and prospering together.
Finally we reached the place we were going to Obama Memorial Academic. A very big school, filled with both humans and trybots. I was beginning to think to myself, why would the trybots and the humans be in the same school, if this trybots have superpowers just like grandma said, and I was waiting for an opportunity to ask that question.
We were highly welcomed as honorary guest of the college, we shown the Classes, Labs, Cafeteria, and most especially the basketball court it was much longer than the one we had back home, and more beautiful, the sits for spectators were much in number, I was stunned at the appearance of the court. We had a seminar on the History of Olympus Nation, how it was built up from nothing to what it was today, after the seminar, the teacher handling the seminar asked if we had any question, I knew this was my chance to ask my question, I raised up my hand, yes said the teacher, I then stood up and asked, how can human and trybots live together, when trybots have super abilities. The teacher pulsed for a while and looked at me sacastically. But she answered me, we test our trybots to know the one's with abilities, so if any one is found with abilities they are quickly transferred to the great city to live there, so all the trybots living in Olympus have no abilities.
Later that day we were invited to train with the school's basketball team, Our school team will be playing a friendly match against their team. We kitted with our sports jessey, I was sitting on the sideline as a substitute, the match was tensed, they were already winning us by two goals before the first half. When it was fifteen minutes into the second half I was substituted into the match, we were now three goals down. I tried a dunk move infront of the goal pole and was pushed down, the official blew play on, this made me very annoyed, suddenly my heart started beating fast, I could hear every thought in the court even the slightest of thought. My movement changed, I felt invisible. In less than ten minutes after this, we were only a goal down, and it was just five minutes to go. I moved very fast passed the ball to my teammate, jumped infont of the goal pole and she returned the pass, I drop the ball into the net hole, we were now in the same point with only three minutes to go. I moved fast again with the ball, this time I was determined to go alone, one of our opponent with a tall and heavily built-up body, ran to push me, I saw her every moved, like everything slowed down. But just as I was trying to make my move, I heard the voice of Grandma saying don't let anyone know who you are. I was pushed down by her and the officiator blew the whistle for penalty throw, I was asked by my coach to take the throw. I stood there with the ball, It was only seconds to the end of the match, and this throw might be the last action of the game. I took a deep breath, and then threw the ball, It went up towards the net and landed on the mouth of the goal basket, it row around the basket mouth and would have fallen off, when suddenly my eyes focused on the ball, and the ball felled back into the goal basket. we celebrated the winning, but the college team couldn't believe their eyes, what really just happened, was the question in everyone's lips.
Mean while among the spectators of the match was the school principal, who had been watching, me with much admiration. She walked to where I was and congratulated me, you are a great player she said, I would have said you have abilities, if not for the fact that you are human, I would have thought you had abilities, thank you Ma, I replied. She then walked to my coach and talked to her for a while and then left, I didn't listen to their conversation but I knew were discussing about me. later that day my coach told me that I made her proud, and that I had been invited to join the Obama Academic's team to train against their upcoming Global Tournament, that will be held next year in the Great City. I thanked her and left to my lodge, I was happy with myself, for the first time I had been reconned with great success.
The next day as we were leaving the girl with heavily built-up body, came close to me, she shaked my hand and asked for my name, my name is Emily, my name is Shelia, I heard you have been invited to train with us, yes I replied, ok then I will see you soon bye, bye, I replied, as she walked back into the school gate. In the bus, I was the topic of discussion, my coach congratulated me again and then told me, that I will reach great height. On reaching home, grandma was already waiting for me, I embrass her and told her the good news, but I never told her that I used my power to aid in our winning.
